Rhen Richard Confident Heading Into 2018 With Tie-Down Win & Payout

Tie-down roper Rhen Richard had his work cut out for him tonight when he drew “the runner” of the pen, but he got the job done to the tune of 9.9 seconds. After his round one winning time of 7.5 seconds gave him a huge lead, and some breathing room, his nine-second run was enough to keep him in the No. 1 spot in the aggregate with a total time of 17.4 seconds on two. 

Richard takes a cheque worth $4,295.72 home to start off his Canadian Professional Rodeo Association season and says he’ll now spend some time competing in the United States, before returning to Canada to make a run for the CFR.
